So here’s my latest tattoo inspired by well, uh, the Almighty FSM. I thought, “what’s cooler than a holy high five between some deities?”

JAC,
There are a couple reasons many (not all, I know American posters show a complete lack of grammatical skills. First, grammar isn’t tested. Teachers have to teach a certain set of competencies that students are tested on every year. Math is normally tested every year, reading tests after 3rd grade (approximately), and a couple of writing tests that are graded on content and not on grammar. Teachers figure they only have a certain amount of time to teach, so best not waste time going over those things that are not tested (see if a large majority of their students pass the test then they can get a bonus check). A big reason why science skills are also significantly lacking, and we have so many people running around saying that people and dinosaurs co-existed. Most states do not test science concepts, and some students are not even exposed to science until middle school.
Second, we wouldn’t want to harm those fragile self-esteems by telling them they did something wrong. For example, where I teach we are not allowed to grade homework. Not even a completion grade. Why? Because students may not have parents who would make them do their homework, or their parents may not be home when they get home. Personal responsibility is non-existent, and all of your problems are someone else’s fault. Life owes you something. Telling a student that they misplaced a comma could upset this fragile balance. We wouldn’t want that would we?
I am a teacher, and I do what I can (but there is only so much grammar in science class). The parents here have a different idea. You didn’t know that all American children are brilliant? You better catch on! If you come here and imply that you may get sued!
Love the tattoo by the way! Good for you!

Oh my fricken god, that is the best tat that I have ever seen! It’s amazing!!!!! I love it! The J-Man and FSM kickin it!
Gorgeous tattoo! I also see The Brights logo in there. I really don’t think the IPU would allow herself to be ridden, though.
Oh, but for a holy high five? I think she’d make an exception. She’s just that cool. Heh.
Great tattoo – and especially given it is original and not some carbon copy some one else’s (ie: Barb Wire, Tribal, Skull, Snake etc).
Stay an individual!!!

Oh I get it! That’s a fake tattoo, right? There is no way one who is wise enough to follow the teachings of the FSM would get that done in anything other than magic markers, surely.
Really, Bargain Booze? That’s funny, as I would have thought that there’s no way one who is wise enough to follow the teachings of the FSM would be so judgmental and priggish, surely.
Magic markers? It is far too awesome a tattoo for such impermanence. If I’d have come up with such a great concept for a tattoo, I’d have one myself.
